Eamonn Holmes, 62, gave a candid interview last week in which the GB News breakfast show host aimed a swipe at his former colleagues on ITV. When asked what the “worst” thing about leaving ITV’s This Morning was, Eamonn answered that he felt his “reputation” had been damaged.
The 62-year-old also blamed “someone in authority” who he claimed didn’t like him.
He also claimed this person had an “agenda” against him.
Eamonn left This Morning in December 2021 after hosting for 15 years alongside his wife Ruth Langsford.
In the interview, he went on to slam his former ITV colleagues by saying they weren’t necessarily “good” at their jobs and that “you just have to have someone in authority that likes you”.

He hasn’t let the career move affect his “confidence”.
The broadcaster said: “I left This Morning with my reputation damaged, but my confidence didn’t suffer.
“I won’t have propaganda and lies said against me, you know – ‘Oh, Eamonn’s got old, Eamonn’s male, pale and stale.’
“One person in authority didn’t like me and had an agenda, and that was it.
“It could have cost both of us our jobs, but the station probably secretly relished the publicity,” he told The Telegraph.
The Breakfast With Eamonn And Isabel host added that the feud was over very quickly and they are now good friends.
Last week, Eamonn also hit out at Keir Starmer, calling him a “dullard” who can’t relate to working class people.
However, his co-star Isabel had the opinion that politicians should focus on policies rather than entertaining the public.
